a lion doesn't make his pride, his crew feel safe by becoming a house cat. He makes them feel

safe by doing what lions do. And I want for every man listening to this to become that.

Not a smaller, softer, more easier to digest version of yourself, but a more

complete version. One who's done a lot of that inner one, one who's earned the trust of the people

around him the way I wish I would have when I had that opportunity.

Then today we're going to talk about something that I think a lot of men misunderstand or maybe they even flat out a void because on the surface, what I'm going to share with you today might sound like that soft, politically correct talking point that actually sounds ridiculous if you do any digging under the surface.

We're going to be talking about

what it means for a man to be safe. Now look, before you check out, I want you to stay with me

because what I'm not talking about is what modern culture usually means when they push this

idea. And I'm not here to tell you to shrink. I never have. I never will.

I'm not here to tell you to apologize for who you are as a man or to smooth out some of those

rough edges or just become some sort of passive, agreeable, whiny wimp or version of yourself that causes no sort of friction for

anybody. Because I don't think that's safety. That is more akin to weakness. And weakness

doesn't allow us to step up in the way that we as men are supposed to step up.

What I'm talking about is something that is harder to wrap our heads around.

And frankly, I think it's more important than anything that, you know, that quote unquote, safe masculinity crowd continues to peddle us.

I'm talking about being the kind of man

who has real and genuine strength real power real presence and one who has done a lot of work on

himself to make sure that the strength that he does possess serves the people that he loves

instead of threatens them.

And that's the difference.

And today I want to break that down.
